Project proposal 1

My first project idea is develop a wheel protector using the proximity sensor technology to protect the mag wheel from curb damage. This project idea is to inform the driver the wheels is going to scrape on the curb during the parallel parking. The proximity sensor which use either electromagnetic or ultrasonic sensor. This sensor will design to place on the wheel arch. As for the sensor position, I need to carry out the experiment to find out where is the best location to place the sensor. I also need to find out the best solution to let the driver easy to use this product.
